Four!

[Jrand74]

Already 86 degrees here.

I shall head to the theeder about 5:30 p.m. to spend one last night in the OKLAHOMA! box office.  We had a few tickets left for tonight but are sold out Friday and Saturday....

So we shall see what happens.

[Jrand74]

Hopefully the show will be more lively tonight......

[ChasSmith]

It was $2.69 at Costco last week.

Damn!

Of course, imagine what BK is thinking right about now.   

[Jrand74]

I missed one night - and Curly chipped a tooth and Jud is wearing a back brace.....

[ChasSmith]

It's 85 here, which should be as high as it's going today.

Tomorrow, a couple of degrees less, and Sat./Sun. only around 77.

Next Wednesday through Friday:  HELL.  Low to mid 90s, and I find those things can always stick around longer. That will be our first official heat wave o' the year.

[ChasSmith]

Pore Jud.

[Freddie]

I've been listening to a book.

If they ask us, we can hear a book.  (for a possible new "Pal Joey" update)

[ChasSmith]

If you missed a whole week, DR Jrand73, lord only knows if the place would be standing when you returned.

[Freddie]

Hopefully the show will be more lively tonight......

SRO vibes and lively show vibes for "Oklahoma!"

[Freddie]

I missed one night - and Curly chipped a tooth and Jud is wearing a back brace.....

And wellness vibes too!  Yikes!

[Jane]

Oh no!

Pore Jud.

In New York City political and physical fitness news -


"Mayor Eric Adams told a journalist that it looked like he was working out and complimented his 'summer body.'"

Eric Adams Praised a Reporter’s Body. It Wasn’t His First Such Remark.

STAY COOL AND HYDRATED FOR ALL OF YOU LIVING IN HOT TEMPS!

Great news on the Oklahoma! ticket sales. Bad news on the tooth and back brace.

I had a very productive and pleasant appointment with the audiologist this morning.

My hearing aids were here, and I was treated to a thorough tutorial and demonstration of how to maintain, charge, change, clean and otherwise adjust the devices.

I have a phone app, and the big news is that they are Bluetooth enabled and i can take phone calls ON THEM and merely tap on the side of one of the ear supports to answer the phone.  I talk as if the caller were directly in front of me.

Ain't technology grand!!

[Ron Pulliam]

I will share that my ride home was one of the noisiest experiences I have had in a long time.  Every little sound was amplified...especially while I was driving over newly paved road. 

When I got home and out of the car, I was startled to hear rather loud bird song.  The hearing aids amplify noises the way a cell phone does for folks who call me.  I have had several calls when on my back porch when someone will ask how close that bird is to me...and I have to ask "What bird?".  I could hear birds chirping in the distance while the caller felt they were on my shoulder.

They will take some getting used to, but so far so good.

[Jane]

The sound directly into the hearing aids while talking on the phone has greatly improved my life.  I don't say what nearly as much as I used to. 

Do you have an iPhone? 

What hearing aids did you get?

[Jane]

DR Ron, hearing birds was the first thing I noticed when I got hearing aids.  I didn't even realize that I hadn't been hearing them. 

[Ron Pulliam]

Was Curly chewing the scenery?  Did Jud get carried away in his dispute with Curly?

Inquiring minds...etc., etc., and so forth.

[John G.]

This is an odd noir. Cesar Romero is the star. Audrey Totter. Tom Drake from Meet Me in St. Louis. Raymond Burr is the heavy.  In one scene we see two beautiful women sleeping in the same bed. Apparently that was okay with the censors.

They are Phonak hearing aids.

Watching the Stone Flower and staying awake this time. The Prokofiev music, based on Russian folk songs in part, is lovely. The leads from the Bolshoi are great,but the corps de ballet has not been filmed well. The dancers look sloppy when shot from so far away. The closeups make them look better.

[John G.]

I finished the chocolate berry pie.

[John G.]

What a good boy am I.

[John G.]

But let's move on.

[John G.]

Shall we?
